Connor's Big Shiny New Ride-On Toy

Connor received a big new ride-on toy for his birthday from Grandma Jackie and Grandpa Brian. It's a fancy convertible walker/ride-on car that plays music, has a horn, and other "car" sounds. The front "hood" has shaped holes to put in shaped toys, and the "hood" can open and close, too. Connor loves all the sounds it makes. He hasn't yet taken to the idea that it's a ride-on, but I have seen him straddle the toy by himself at least once, so he's learning!

Connor can crawl around really quickly now, he can crawl faster than Gung Gung can walk, that's for sure! He's also able to "cruise" - hang onto items and walk - very easily. He's starting to try climbing onto higher surfaces such as the sofa - he can do it if he steps on something, like a small stool. He loves shiny gadgets with knobs that can turn - so much for trying to teach him not to touch such things! His favourite "toys" are the remote controls, the DVD buttons, and the TV buttons.

A new TV cabinet with doors has been ordered. Hope it arrives soon, before the DVD and TV breaks!

Connor Turns One!

It's hard to believe that one entire year has gone by already - my Baby turned one year old on July 16th! Since it was a Thursday, we celebrated with a party on Sunday July 12th.

We had Connor's swimming lesson in that Sunday morning, so it made it a little bit of a hectic to prepare for the party, which started at 2pm. Connor had a deep sleep nap after swimming, but he was still very cranky for the entire party. See these two photos here, it pretty much sums up how crazy it was! Both Connor and Kolton are crying!

From Birthday

On Connor's actual birthdate, we had a small cake at home (which, you'll see from the video, Connor wasn't terribly interested in trying it!).

Learning how to swim

Mommy and Daddy signed me up for swim lessons. Lots of other little boys and girls are there with their mommies and daddies, too. I'm learning how to move around in the water, it's fun! They want us to learn how to blow bubbles but I'm not ready for that yet. Mostly, they just want me to get used to being in the water.

Here's some videos of me frolicking in the water with Daddy!
